Laurie Anderson - O Superman - clip subtitulado!

[Noragirlie63]

I remember listening to this while falling to sleep with the clock radio set to play for an hour - clock radio's were quite new then as well ..... this used to make me feel strangley safe, it has a hypnotic quality that feels very comforting despite the odd lyrics .......

[Johnnywhamo]

I remember CFNY out of Toronto playing this tune back in the early 80's. That station RULED back then. They introduced all the best new wave bands there were. Very ground breaking station at a time when DJs actually played what they liked!

[LordNocturno]

realmente ella se adelantó a su época, es bien experimental,inclusive sus shows rompieron la vanguardia y fue más allá que la música misma,me gusta su excentricidad. Ahora, alguien así como pocas, estaría quedando en estos tiempos la famosa,también experimental Bjork, en otro estilo si.

[Belloronny]

qq connait cette version la même mais house pas le remix de mandy ou booka shake



[Doobie1975]

this song for some reason makes me feel high, I've discovered this song on SIRIUS radio back in 2007 and it sure takes me back to that era.

[MrVegy]

This freaks me out!

[Vizeyes]

And when justice is gone... There's always force.

[WILLEM679]

Te mooi!!!!!!

[WILLEM679]

Bellisimo!!!

[WILLEM679]

Meesterwerk!!!!!!!

[scotslord2000]

je l'ai en super 45T,et je l'écoute souvent en 33T....TRES spécial

[DJRedMEDIA]

@festusreptilicus This is awesome, in fact I'd like to see Laurie do a song with Kanye West. This song has a strange resemblance to Lost In The World. It isn't hard to see where Yeezy got his inspiration from.

[ninesticks]

i agree...i have been listening to this for 25 years and it still wrings out the emotions....very sad to my lights....

x=x too except not sad

great imagery for this piece too by the way....

thanks from another child who has grown old..

[ninesticks]

i agree...i have been listening to this for 25 years and it still wrings out the emotions....very sad to my lights....

[thephoenix754]

This is bonkers, been trying to remember who did this then it came to me in a flash!

[Robert27962]

This song makes me cry! And I don't know why! This is listening therapy! It is good to laugh and cry!!

[Robert27962]

@MrAndialt, no I don't. I find that I have similar music tastes to Germans though.

Can you recommend a good song?

This song always moves me, I dunno why, exactly the definition of ART!

Thanks Laurie!

[TheFlyingEagel]

Gewoon prachtig !

[JosePiresERICEIRA]

LINDAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaa



[AmazingRunescapePro]

AWK brought me here

[Nightmastercool97]

i sort of like this song its unique, original and inventive and it is the first song i heard without any intruments or musical accompiment. just laughing, and ocapala.

[SpreadLove8]

Awesome my bf just showed me this ... it freaked out two of my friends lol but i think it is great its experimental in a great way

[bassmanjoe]

Weird is good....

[sugarmagnolia787]

This is just.....weird....

[mpjgbx]

Are you coming home?

[goytabr]

This song is almost 30 years old, but it's still groundbreaking even today, and the lyrics are fresher and more current than ever. Laurie has always been, and will always be way ahead of her time.

[Optimat1000]

thats a masterpiece of electronic music! and its a brilliant piece of art!

[obriek14]

spiritual north dance mix of this is class, one of the classics of th 1990's, class track and lives long in the memory. do not slate the original of a track Ever. Its a sin.

[ziki1979]

glupost



[PETEGRIFF66]

love you laurie

[YoMargoth]

I don't get why my best friend got to meet her, even had class with her, and I haven't -nor her husband. She's great.

[ZduffmanZ]

This shit offends my ears.. There is no way that anyone can voluntarily sit there and listen to 8 and a half minutes of this! :O

[goytabr]

@ZduffmanZ, then I think you'd kill yourself if you were forced to watch the entire "United States Live" show, which was over 4 hours long... As for me, *after* watching it, I could die...

[LtThunderthighs]

LISTEN TO THIS WHILE YOU LISTEN TO PUMPED UP KICKS BY FOSTER THE PEOPLE.

[PAFdelirium]

Das ist mal richtig geiles Zeug! Selten sowas!

[Ming64]

Saw a clip of this at the V&A recently - never having heard it before. It is pretty wickles.

[martinnesuno]

What tha fuck is this post drug addiction moaning??

[MrAppyman]

I loved this tune  a long time ago.....Art at work .......

[xXBluePaperXx]

so beautiful :') why i cry?

[Robert27962]

Hard to imagine it was made in 1981

[MrAndialt]

@Robert27962 ^^^its yours to digger for the treasures hidden in the 80 s............do you know " klaus nomi " ?

[corpsefireNL]

this is terrible.

[bostonianreggie]

Reminds me of Imogen Heap

[TodayDisco]

@bostonianreggie

hiiiiiiide and seek ;)

[bostonianreggie]

@TodayDisco Exactly!!!

[tribalKoko]

pero subtitulos en español NO....

[lasertrimman]

[ptitkinoz]

féerique, psychédélique, magnifique quel nom donner a ce style

je recherche des zik du meme genre

[spadehatesscrewtube]

i wish i was ready.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

prima cin. (mattwagner) prime. sin.

[Capernahum]

Perfection! After all these decades...

[beketaten]

Unless you're too dense to even be able to read, look it up on Wikipedia and most of your questions should be answered. But then again, you're probably too stupid to comprehend that either.

[J0k394]

I hate this song but still I can't stop listening to it :S

[mathamainia]

how can you tell when the tone went off to leave the message there is too many huh's

[davedoom60]

"smoking or non-smoking?" ♦♦♦ Amazing-lee this work sounds even better to me now than it did when I first heard Kenny Everett playing and loving it on the radio ⚙⚙⚙ miss you EV ♥♥♥ love your piece Laurie ♡♡♡

[lucyj87]

I've heard a lot of theories about what this song means, from impending nuclear war to child abuse. Either way, I think the beauty of it is not really knowing. Although as a child, I found there to be something desperately sad in the words.

[glaeken14]

I LOVE IT

[ikingofmen]

thank you ,,,,this track means so much to me......via con dios.......

[TheChristianSolo]

esta claro o no ..................

[rollingvelvet]

I lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov love

[MrDuglas777]

what what what what what what what what is that that that that that light bulb in her mouth for for for ...

[GhOsTst1]

@MrDuglas777

loooooooool

[J4MZT3R]

The longest ever music video produced in i think it was 1980? :/ doesn't even make sence but its good ;)

[candicewhiskeyd]

@J4MZT3R ....I agree.....I'm still trying to figure out wth?

I googled every option and got some more info on it.....I'm still kinds lost but it's good tho......

[XavierLePopStar]

Love you, Laurie.

[idealist707]

considering she never did a recorded performance equally

moving, and it is obviously still so today, there must be

something special there. Thanks to those who come with

new observations and interpretations. The rabbit for those who need

leading by the hand, the gun, the threatening snake, but the pyramid I

missed, and more.

[islington0303]

une étoile filante venue d'un endroit improbable! une pépite ! génial!

[funkylovinsoul]

M.A.N.D.Y smashed this shit

[davherex]

This is a classic. Brings back good memories.

[mixmastermonte]

man this is aweful. does anyone like this? Is there something more here than someone talking through a vocoder? why does this have so many likes.

[nightynightnigh]

@mixmastermonte Because this music helped define our modern electronic genre.

[integral]

@mixmastermonte Why so many likes? Just guessing, but it might be because it's an incredible bit of music and people like it.

[mixmastermonte]

@integral Well, most pinoeers sound out of place and are followed by a comercial version of the genre. I'll listen to her other stuff to see if I can get it but I'm really having a hard time connecting the dots as far as how it defined modern electronic music.

[integral]

@mixmastermonte well, that "defining modern electronic music" might be a bit strong. I saw her perform twice in Berkeley and her shows are incredible. Try "Mister Heartbreak", great album and probly more accessible than her earlier stuff.

[enchantedredwoods1]

unique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[enchantedredwoods1]

jajajaja, so funny

[OpinionAndQuestion]

Also, she dosent sing huh, she sings HA. (Laughing robotic)

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

a ha ha ha haaa

The song is not bad as a song, however, the message in the song, my god, freaky evil.

Just sad and empty evil.

[amamuffin]

@OpinionAndQuestion not at all. she actually criticizes war, capitalism, the current -then and now- state of the world. this piece of art still stands strong today.

[OpinionAndQuestion]

She knew something about 911. This song, regardless of how it make people feel, contains an evil teasing against the people of our time, the 911-time. That Nuke-age-explanation was and is only a poor made up excuse, cause the signs in the video says it all: 2:16 (pyramid being shaped), 7:39 (All-seeing-eye), 7:58 (Sleeving up for injection (false flag pandemic media and military operation for our time, to depopulate the planet)

Time to wake up, or to fall for the future pandemic - lie.

[vivienmerchant]

I don't care what anyone else thinks: this is a masterpiece of transcendent grace.

[idealist707]

I caught her, by herself alone, at the Stockholm Concert House,

in 1984. All alone, without the group in the film. Magnificent!!!

It still gives me goosebumps. She was indeed prophetic, but you

youngsters don't know how scared we were then because of the bomb.

"Here come the planes, they're American planes...."

Is the New York 2001 version on here?

[idealist707]

@idealist707 @idealist707

PS on the 9/11 theme I would like to add this historical note, which can be found in facsimile on the Web:

In 1962, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed a plan which he submitted in writing

to the then sitting President, JFK. The plan proposed simulating a plane hijacking full of American

passengers by some of Fidel's agents. The plane was to crash at sea, and give the USA reason

to attack Cuba. Kennedy fired him!

[JohnnyLovely2]

huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh O SUPERMAN huh huh huh huh

[OpinionAndQuestion]

911 and Pandemic creepy. The all-seeing eye, the Sun and the pyramid, are all portrayed. Think it was a few weeks after 911, that Laurie Anderson decided to perform O Superman, again, in New York. Something she had not done for 20 years.

Back then in 80es, somehow She knew.

Satan's evil message:

Well, you don't know me,

but I know you.

And I've got a message to give to you.

Here come the planes.

So you better get ready. Ready to go. You can come

as you are, but pay as you go. Pay as you go.

[nanou861]

8minutes 26, j'ai pas tenu jusqu'à la fin mais c'est sympa quand même !

[junkman19571]

forget gaga....forget nicky minaj.......this is ORIGINAL........

[HC4art]

Hauntingly good

[artmostfearentr]

"Here come the planes!!! they are american planes" PROFETIC

[michaelivingstone]

still incredible.



[sachmedia]

ich liebe diesen song. er hat auch trotz ha,ha einen tollen text. wenn man denn zu verstehen mag.

[swarze]

I find her work SO interesting. She is so smart and brave. She has done a lot of work with Philip Glass and she recently married dear old Lou Reed. I would LOVE to meet her. This video blew me away in the 80s, and it STILL does.

[sinsofmachaut]

It's so much fun to see people's first reactions to her here ... :)

[Ashleylhearts007]

What the heck...

[mosquito1958]

A Visonary in early Tecno-muzic, electronic wizardrey.

[gennaiafebbraio]

I agree it would scare any small child!

[gennaiafebbraio]

Woah and WOW and what?

[Doobie1975]

Great song, is she wearing a leather jacket?

[nuevaordenmundial]

muy interesante!!!cro que me enamore de su cerebro!!

[bobeyo44]

When I was little this scared the crap out of me, now I love it.

[tubeornottubeuseful]

@bobeyo44 Huh? This was around the same time as Jaws, THAT scared the crap out of me and hearing the music now (or someone jokingly humming it) is enough to make me stay away from a beach for weeks.

[bobeyo44]

@tubeornottubeuseful Driving in the dark and having this play in your car radio when youre 5 is pretty scary.

[tubeornottubeuseful]

@bobeyo44 5 year olds driving in the dark is pretty scary too ;)

[sergiomondragonguerr]

I LIKE AUQUE ME ASUSTA.

[BDSMfinder]

I admit that 8 minutes of "huh huh huh huh" is just a little bit TOO long x)

[tubeornottubeuseful]

@BDSMfinder Well, we're in a different era now, most would have written 4 sms and 3 e-mails and made 2 phone-calls in between, and are we better off? Thanks MTV for pushing on the fast-forward button so no-one can pause to enjoy life.

[Festivalbar2010]

This Song Is Totally Strange, and Out!!!

[geminidefect]

if you have no attention span, this is not for you. First time in 28 years I have heard this, but have never forgotten it

[patu8010]

The "huh"s get on my nerves.

[s2parking]

I clicked on the video just cuz it said it was 0:00 long.

[buckinray18]

wow this really does sound like what Lady Gaga ripped of Edge of Glory from!!!!!

[AngloAm]

Love how at 7:59 she pulls up her sleeve. :)

[OpinionAndQuestion]

@AngloAm

Portraying the Pandemic conspiracy, still to come, if we don't fight peacefully back. All of us. The P plan was an old plan already attempted in the US, in the 50es or 60es?

[Spud13ify]

Now I know why this song was on a documentary about a serial killer. Very Very creepy and bizarre.

[verleider67]

i believe the longest 7" record ever ? may be worng

[pezhope]

yeah its all about war, the huh huh huh is meant to be a helicopter...... here come the planes.

[pinktriangleuk]

This reminds me of my dad coming home drunk from the pub on a Friday night, putting this on the record player and singing it word for word. Us kids still have no idea what it's about!

[chitlada]

@pinktriangleuk

I have so many memories coming back to me when i hear this song. It cannot be explained.

Perhaps i will have this song played at my funeral. I know the lyrics word for word too.

I'll give you a clue.... ( Hi Mom , I'm not home right now )

[brybish]

@pinktriangleuk as a 54 year old none breeder i don't understand what you mean this makes perfect sense to me its just a woman doing what comes naturaly. saying HUH!

[FoxXonfor]

@pinktriangleuk today that changes..its about the war and her son dying in it, hence the planes and "hello,this is your mother..are you comming home"

[88raid]

still strange how one can be so connected to everything around through time + space, though so personally and actually speaking, though so sensibly, responsibly, minimalistically operating.

[coheedgirl013]

this song made reference to the cold war

Mom is the American government

when they smoking or nonsmoking they are asking if the planes have nuclear bombs or not...

or so they taught me :O

[PIlotrcm]

I like the part where it goes...

"huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh".

[rtmnmk]

@PIlotrcm

Which part? I don't hear any "Huh's" :)

[Scratchy7929]

@PIlotrcm I didn't quite catch that bit.Could you give me the minutes / secs were that bit was ;-)

[tubeornottubeuseful]

@PIlotrcm Art of Noise did too as you can tell from Moments in Love or even better Love Beat, and Café del Mar liked both of those from Art of Noise so now you have millions of Café del Mar fans who have to say thank you to Granma Anderson and hardly know whuh huh huh huh huh huh huh... ;)

[nuevaordenmundial]

@PIlotrcm YES BUT MY FAVORITE PART IS WHEN SHE DO HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HU IT'S THE BEST!! PART!!JAJAJAJA ;P

[neil73]

@nuevaordenmundial My favorite part is where she goes: Huh HA Huh HA huh Ha Ha Huh Ha @3:05 lol!

[hynett]

@PIlotrcm

I preferred the other bit!

[baverdi]

@PIlotrcm I hope you copy pasted that

[haastaboozia]

@PIlotrcm

Commited, aren't we? (Maybe you or I should be) lol

[pipsfattone88]

@PIlotrcm trop evident



[bozzomarc]

@PIlotrcm huh? didnt get that?

[stevies5]

@PIlotrcm You missed a huh. Apart from that thanks for the lyrics. ;)

[scarpa1965]

I think Pllotcm is almost as brilliant as Laurie Anderson!!!!

[scarpa1965]

I think Pllotcm is almost as brilliant as Laurie Anderson

[PIlotrcm]

Woah man, what kinda pills did she pop?

[jncurotto]

"There's always mom....."

[73neil73]

i love this track i love laurie anderson this got onto thee charts in england and i heard it the most magical musical non musical session .................

[Flatterflaume]

gay vomit stop it!!!

[freakygek]

FAKE AND GAY

[limesuperman]

@freakygek HOW?

[freakygek]

ommegodd i hate this O____O stop making tha focking noise, ITS IN MA HEADDD

[cha1tman]

wow.

[matthewjamal]

if you actually LISTEN to the song...you will eventually get past the constant and repetitive "HA HA HA" . you have to dedicate your mind to this song. give it a chance.

[voluntario3]

Una gran y poco comprendida artista. Una vez dijo, "los norteamericanos disfrutan sabiéndose engañados..."

[djjonrich]

why dose this go with 911

[TheTourbillon]

Very 1980s. To quote Jim Carroll... "Laurie Anderson? That's Yuppie music." And, he didn't mean that as a compliment.

[burngadget]

@TheTourbillon I disagree with mr. Carroll about that but that is a very interesting interpretation!

[TheTourbillon]

@burngadget Well, I guess Jim Carroll was a from tough working class background...and Laurie Anderson, I would assume, is a child of relative privilege. She also "made it" in the 1980s...which was the Reagan era and the celebration, and vilification, of the Yuppie (young urban professionals). I have to admit that I don't really care for Laurie's work...it's a little too "cute" for my tastes. But, you gotta admire her Yuppie drive and ambition.

[1953sparks]

my first ever record i bought ,set me up proper for the acid age :)

[Kriss364]

Totally awesome still after all these years - can't believe it was done such a long time ago! It still sounds fresh today. VERY Experimental piece which i absolutely love. Laurie Anderson is a very tallented artiste and worked with Jean-Michel Jarre on his groundbreaking albums "Zoolook" and "Metamorphosis" and Laurie still creates origional and experimental music. Just fantastic stuff!

[x0xbethaNyyx0x]

this song still scares the shit out of me

[PRYCEYPOOS69]

stunning song, always reminds me of my father along with the edge of darkness theme (m kamen), 15 years gone always in my thoughts x

[hype1tube]

I just cannot stop listening to this over and over again. This to me is bliss. While listening I cannot defeat the thought of us being part of a system that we cannot defeat. "This is the hand, the hand that takes". Civilian against government. People against institution. Be aware!

"Cause when love is gone,

there's always justice.

And when justice is gone,

there's always force.

And when force is gone,

there's always Mom."

Beautiful and alarming.

[michaelivingstone]

@hype1tube you said it - totally agree.

[gearjunkies]

Long time no hear, ... but still awesome!

[nkorbakis]

This song really creeps me out we had first watched it on Rage at around 12am we couldn't stop laughing but now that we watch it again we see that this song must be about environmental awareness and diseases allthough some people may see this song as good we just see it is hilarious and incredibly scary it has away of making you think of the unknown

[babyv0108]

i love her music..its original and it drifts you towards another world.a fantacy world with realistic thoughts..amazing!

[Mannchild11]

That's it, no more acid...this is clever though.

[Mannchild11]

That's it, no more acid.

[mezzanineg22]

Amazed by all the meanings this song holds. I'm italian and I've heard this song when I was 6 years old. It was the soundtrack for a ministerial tv advertising about AIDS and HIV. This is how a lot of young kids in Italy got to know Laurie Anderson. Some found this song terrifying, others, like me, fascinating!

[AUSNick87]

the constant "ha" is driving me crazy....

[Danathalus]

...There are actually no words to describe how amazing this was.

[furrypants09]

Lmao

[moviefact1]

my dad used to put this on when i wouldn't go to sleep, so hypnotisingly beautiful.

[Fabior59]

Fin du Punk... le monde est pret à une nouvelle forme musical

[blackwolfnavar]

what the??????

[katinasvenska]

:) Before her time maybe

[recycledaudio]

Laurie is so freaking great. Timeless

[JReed1985]

This song reminds me of Dennis Nilsen who played this song when he attempted to kill one of his victims but failed to do so.

[ninbin34]

imogen heap reminds me of this

[TadVacuous]

for me this is where it all started

[imhallowarren]

er so?

[Listen2Colors]

I'm pretty sure this video gave me Aids.

[Listen2Colors]

This song feels like listening to colors :=) FLOWER POWER!!!!!!! (Yes, I'm on drugs. SO WHAT??)
